Spot on! What ancient monuments does Dubai have? Where are its stone age artifacts or WW1/WW2 relics. Oh, right...
Dubai is full of billionaires and young grifters. One of the most shallow places I’ve ever been, the only people worth talking to are the cleaners and hotel workers who are treated like absolute slaves and paid pennies.
They are slaves, technically
@@nfbconnectWe all slaves, technically
They're not treated like slaves they are slaves
@@cookdislander4372 Not really. Slaves can't leave their employment. I can.
I heard they even take away their passports to trap them
I know someone from Africa who went to UAE to be employed by a family to nurse their kid. Passport confiscated. Not one single day off since two years. Was supposed to end contract on april 27th then has now to stay there one more year. Modern slavery. Sick! Utterly disgusting!
Horrific 🥲
I've known people who worked in Saudi Arabia, but in skilled labor. They said the Saudis do everything to keep from paying and if possible, will pay nothing for labor. The people I knew were savvy enough to stop work immediately when they weren't paid, but low-skilled workers don't have such leverage. I wouldn't do business in the Arab world for anything.

I travelled almost all of Europe and I got so used to the experience of landing in a European city, walking around walkable streets, seeing locals go about their day, chilling in a park or even taking public transport to the edge of the city to escape the urban sprawl... and then I came to Dubai.
That trip had this "Lost in translation" feel to it, I was there alone, moving through the empty streets under the skyscrapers, getting on the metro line and only ever seeing people from India, Pakistan, Africa, never any Arab people, then walking these long roofed corridors for 20 minutes to get from one place of interest to the other, then being surrounded by vapid influencers in the malls taking selfies. The best way to describe my experience there would be 'surreal', like I was walking in a dream, never able to connect with anything or anyone on an emotional level, just cruising through liminal spaces in an artificial environment in a place where nothing lives.
That sounds like nightmare fuel incarnate.
@@emghee2510 Indian workers build the cities & what about white American girls?
they get pottied on lol. Which one is worse gh ettorican animal?
Hahaha, you described exactly my experience when i booked a 3 days stopover in Dubai in 2018. I kept looking for a market square, or something that would mark the center where people would come together and talk about life. I didn't find it.
Sounds tight. I wanna experience that. I love liminal spaces, they're so intriguing.
I've always gotten a similar feeling in ultra-new places; for example when I lived in Japan two decades ago (I lived in an older "suburb" of Tokyo, really another city that had become part of the metro area, in an older and definitely not upscale neighbourhood) I took a day trip to a new suburb, Makuhari, where the school I worked for was planning to open a new branch. I was just curious to see it. One of my students told me it had been built on reclaimed land. It was so new to me that it didn't seem real, almost everything raised above ground, getting around on raised walkways from one shopping complex or housing complex to another. Maybe because I was born in a very old British city and mostly grew up in a small Canadian prairie city this was so, so far from my "normal". "Science-fiction-y" was I think how I later described it. I was happy and relieved to finally find a little park right in the middle of it, and feel actual ground under my feet.
A futuristic looking but medieval nightmare.
bro hi whats ur opinion on philosophy?
@@lovethyneibor22736It's all right, innit?
I will never understand why people listen to actors and influencers. None of them are real
Because said people are stupid sheep with no capacity for critical thinking, and sadly, they are in inexhaustible supply.
They're just in it for their pay check, totally shallow examples of humanity
They are paid to lie to us
A lot of people are just worthless. Low IQ, low self-esteem, lazy, addicted to social media. That's how you get cringy influencers who capture people's attention even if they're doing the most hollow and vapid content imaginable.
Because actors are supporting the consumerist mindset ...a spokesperson for consumerism (And completely extrinsic base lifestyle where you buy labels, cars, fish and items in a way to show your position in society rather than good character,good works away of working with people together It's very narrow. It's quite awful). It's the only reason why they are invited. They're not invited for the intellectualism They are invited for the image free publicity For a way of life that makes people incredibly unhappy. But all you need to do is look up Eastilin Paradox and positional goods to see what a crazy idea this is. And what a waste of time
Dubai is literally one of those simulator games where you just build sky scrapers without any true meaning
Plenty of meaning behind it. Skyscrapers look great and allow for more efficient home and office production on top of making the skyline and city look better and feel better to live and work in

I love how rich people are called expats and poor ones calked immigrants.
It usually depends on the will. Both mean the same, but expat tends to be used for those who chose to move abroad, immigrant for those who have to move abroad due to the circumstances in their country. It’s not the same to have an American move to France than it is to have a Venezuelan trek through the jungle to Panama-and I say it as a Venezuelan myself
@@VV-er3zg This is false. The difference is usually attributed to duration of stay, with expats being temporary residents whereas immigrants settle on a permanent basis. However in today's context immigrant is usually coded to mean 'unwelcome foreigner, especially if from the global south' while expat is preferred for white Europeans/Americans. You could be a black/asian/South American management professional on a fixed-term contract in London or Barcelona and they'll still label you "immigrant"
See the thing about that is, well, expats often return to their home countries...
I'm sure some "guest worker" immigrants would want to leave when they wanted to being treated unfairly and unjustly, often inhumanely.
No. You should hate it. What's wrong with you.
I remember seeing someone say "Dubai is like a shopping mall, lots of luxury, lots of famous brands, but that's it"
I was actually just thinking something similar: Over the last few decades, shopping-malls have fallen "out of fashion". Mostly because the consumer-market changed with online shopping, but also because they're just not "the place to be" like they were back in the late half of the 20th century. - Today there are massive shells of abandoned buildings just rotting away because they couldn't be sustained anymore. And seeing them just shows how shallow and materialistic the human mind had become. I think even people got fed up with it, even though we still suffer of "materialism" with things like phones and social media trying to convince us it's important. - Anyway, malls are just a great example of what was wrong with society for decades already, and a place like Dubai is indeed like an enhanced version of that principle. Just a flashy place to hang out and feel important, but nothing of substance. - I hope, like malls, one day it will be an abandoned dilapidated shell, exemplifying what went wrong with the modern human. - It can be swallowed by the the desert and the ocean for all I care.
Glad i never went there, luxury shops=superficial people🤮
That depends on location then because there are many malls by me and even family members in other places of the nation where malls are still VERY popular and very frequented. Parking is a nightmare. @@michaelmonstar4276

I was forced to visit a construction site in Dubai as part of my degree (I'm from the UK) and my brother in Christ, these reports are NOT some fringe conspiracy in the least. I saw things first-hand that I would've thought were exaggerations if I'd read about them online. Signs posted up around the site forbidding workers from eating or napping (dishing out massive fines equivalent to a month's wage). Grown ass men literally crying. A whiteboard with 'accidental deaths this week: 0' as if it was some noteworthy achievement. A Project Manager telling us brazenly that "yes we have some jumpers, this is to be expected." That was when I learned that the anti-slavery policies we see on corporate websites mean absolutely fuck all. There is absolutely no way a single person from the client's company could spend ten minutes on-site and not be aware of this. There's no way.

It's happening in all of our back yards right now, but instead of people being outraged about it (in your case oblivious) people are complaining about slavery from 200 years ago.
When I went to Dubai I was appalled at how many of the those big new shiny skyscrapers appeared empty and hallow. Almost none of those buildings had businesses on the first floor. The artificiality of the place was getting old to me and I was only there for a few days. All of this slave labor and human trafficking just so they can say they have the “biggest” of everything.

I grew up in Dubai from 1995 - 2006, I have found memories of the place. Thats were I did my primary school but I remember seeing horrendous cases of discrimination. My father being white I would be treated like a king. But then my mother being South East Asia I would often see the tragedy of discrimination. I remember my mother taking me to visit her friends who worked in 5 star hotels all of them chefs on penny wages. I didn't understand at the time why they lived in such small houses compared to our Villas. Then there was the time I broke my wrist and my mother rushed me to hospital for the medical staff saying they couldn't treat me because a parent wasn't around. They assumed the women who had gave birth to me was a maid. Anyway that's been my experience
That's what you get for being a disgusting racemixer. You're a hapa LOL.

Sounds like Dubai is every dystopian society I’ve read in books as a kid
Migrant workers are undoubtedly treated terribly and its an unfortunate situation. The situation is improving and it's important to know that they get better opportunities here than in the other government's. I live in dubai and it is very similar to the west but safe and tax free. Some people find themselves stuck with the law and end up being punished but it's the same in America! I know a friend who was jailed for a crime he did not do and that was in America!
I feel you, but I'm not quite sure that I can agree; While I agree that Dubai is a Dystopia, but when it comes to the ultimate representation of a Dystopia, it's hard to compete with L.A. and Detroit
Ever see the silent film "Metropolis?" Dubai and similar Arab cities remind me of that: two distinct classes, one that lives in beautiful elegance at the top, and the downtrodden poor that do all the work. And there's nothing in between (at least American cities still have the middle). I've been to Doha, which is similar. It was fascinating, but I would never EVER live in a place like that. Still, I hope they can turn themselves into something better and sustainable. I don't wish collapse on anyone.
@ressljs I will watch the movie. In dubai I am middle class living in an apartment, nothing crazy but It shows there is a middle.
@yokuzo11 Much of America is amazing and I would rather live there than Dubai but I can't justify paying such a massive tax especially with how everybody is acting in regards to crime and activists.
You often read about the situation "when we run out of oil" but it's more about when the demand for oil decreases under a critical threshold (EVs, Bullet trains, geothermal pumps replacing oil heating, reusable packaging decreasing need for single use plastics).
After all we didn't stop using horses for transportation 100+ years ago because we ran out of hay for horses, but because a significantly better technological solution came to the market at a a competitive price.
I wish my country would implement such fuel alternatives at a much faster rate; it seems we're woefully behind much of Western Europe. The geopolitical reasons are complicated and I don't understand them all, but the sooner the U.S. gets off the Middle Eastern oil tit, the better off we'll be.

@PearlCityBeats, respectfully, that's not a girl (or at least not a biological one).
It's not only Dubai and the Emirates. I was offered a job in a design agency in Kuwait City. A common practice there is that your employer confiscates your passport, returning it only when HE thinks it's suitable for you to visit your family in your home country. I have a friend in Qatar, and she mentioned that this is a prevalent practice there too, even though her employer doesn't engage in such actions. Sounds like modern slavery to me.
One of the first things I learned before I went to work abroad was never, ever let your employer confiscate your passport. It's your property (although technically, it's really the property of the government of your country) and no-one other than the government of your country has the right to take it from you, ever. If they try to insist on it as a condition of employment, run.
That's the only reason why they pay influencers.
To bring in naive young people from other countries to enslave them.
@@KathyPrendergast-cu5ci100% and also never take a job where this could potentially happen in a city where your country does not have an embassy. One further condition should be an initial payment of the value of return transportation. Particularly if you are new to working outside of your home country.

Two quotes from the bible come to mind:
"Vanity, vanity. All is vanity."

All too true as a description of this place. (Even though the second quote isn't from the bible)
As someone who has lived in Dubai for a while, I agree with most of what this video says. Dubai has a few pockets of culture but nothing like Europe or Asia. I think it’s best to look at Dubai in the same light as a place like Qatar, Saudi, or even China despite how much of a pro-west image it projects. We also need to remember that this place barely existed at the time of World War 2, so a local culture isn’t really pronounced either.
Sure, it is a great place to live, and you can lead a very lavish lifestyle for a lot less than it would cost in the West, but it does come at the cost of the unadulterated personal freedoms you would get in a place like America. No place is perfect, Dubai just has a very unique set of things it brings to the table, and is an “acquired taste”. I would highly suggest visiting, but living in Dubai will certainly not be everyone’s cup of tea and that’s completely valid.
Its utterly horrific that they demolished all the old buildings which had historical beauty, it used to look like how you'd expect an old Arabic city looked, and they literally bulldozed them to the ground, forcing the populace out first
Yeah, reminds me how the United States destroyed many housing and historic sites to built that Interstate highway network. I’m glad that European countries like Italy have managed to maintain their history though
Most of the Europe has their cultural heritage preserved (sans WW2)
eh thats just how the middle east rolls
nothing survives and living is on the harshest of conditions.
thats the mentality the desert breeds
Dubai still has some of their old city preserved, but it’s nothing compared to new city that everyone knows.
They have to destroy evidence of the Tartarian empire. They did the same in Turkey and recently in Maui. They can't let us see the truth.

Thank you for making this video.
Dubai is like the kid up on the ski slopes with the best skis, best gear.....But has never ski'd a day in his life. They think they can buy heritage, buy culture.
Dubai is like that annoying kid in school who always had to have the biggest and best of everything and flaunt it. If anyone else got something, he'd tell you he has a bigger and better one. That's Dubai!
Isn’t that good that you have bigger and better stuff?

Any country that allows companies to confiscate your passport should immediately be a HUUUGE red flag. Dubai honestly looks like a soulless shithole. I cant imagine why anyone would want to go there much less live there.
Mostly women go there, with their overpriced iphones and gucci bags. For women, Dubai is a brand and status.

During the 50’s and 60’s, the Emiraties used to try to try and find work in Pakistan. They would be tasked to do the work that even the Pakistanis didn’t want to do and they would turn up to building sites barefoot begging for work and sleeping on the streets. Now look at them, they’re building the tallest buildings in the world and they are the children and grandchildren of that poor generation .
The prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said: “you will not see the day of judgement until you see the poor barefoot destitute Arab competing in building tall buildings.”

Singaporean here, while for the most part I too feel that migrant workers rights are kinda better here, it still isn't as ideal as what you said in your video. The upskilling benefits you mentioned are mostly for locals or permanent residents. Actual migrant workers like household helpers and construction workers don't actually get access to those advantages. There are also a fair share of migrant workers mistreatments here, just that it is often overlooked by the populace.
I was about to comment on this! thanks! fellow Singaporean here
He knows as little about Dubai as Singapore, just parroting other incorrect videos.
At least a lot of Singaporeans are aware of the situation and do not think it is correct. The Gulf Arabs and the Arab world at large seem to think treating outsiders like slaves is the natural order of things and have no problem with it.
@@marial8415where do you get your facts from? Rubbish bin?
Singapore has a terrible history of racism and segregation that a lot of people just pretend to ignore because its a "rich" "developed" country.

you're looking in the wrong places then. there's plenty of news organizations focused on asia and africa that cover this stuff, like al-Jazeera. but even the BBC covers Dubai and it's labor and gender issues. but you shouldn't expect everything to be discussed in English. these complains are gonna be in Begali, Tagalog, Arabic, and many other languages.
Well put...
@@BoomerComment They love being angry at things
I wouldn't jump so quickly to praise Singapore over Dubai. I wouldn't say the migrant workers are treated that well. Many of them are also indebted the moment they step foot in the country, and work less than minimum wage (there's no minimum wage laws in Singapore) to pay back their employers. Their passports are often confiscated by their employers too so they don't have many other options. Singapore's City in a Garden is just misplaced Biophilia, it doesn't actually preserve native nature and fauna. The "super trees" that videos like these like to use as examples are nothing more than artificial structures with non-native plants that take more energy and water to sustain. Singapore is great at keeping up appearances when sweeping its real issues under a shiny clean and manicured rug.
Civil Unrest
Well done, this was enlightening..
As an American born in Dubai in the '80's and returned for several years in the late '90's, I can attest to everything that is laid out in this video. Literally everything. While living there, my family was involved in Christian outreach to the immigrant population. (Which in itself, was a pretty dangerous thing to do) While spending time among them, we came to hear countless stories illustrating their horrendous treatment and clear human rights violations. Every one of them had been conned into going. Only to have their passports confiscated and forced into indentured servitude at best and outright slavery at worst. I appreciate you for raising awareness of this Moon. Keep it up!
You are right but isn't 'Christian Outreach' a con too?

I love traveling around the world but I have never had even the slightest inkling to visit Dubai.
I don’t think I’d want to live there, but as a tourist destination (along with Abu Dhabi) it’s incredible. I went with my wife and 14 year old daughter and it was unforgettable. It was so clean, safe, and futuristic.
I remember having a mental breakdown in the middle of the street near Dubai mall, I felt like I was in a cage full of robots.
15 days I spent there, worst 15 days of my life
Glad you made it out x
@@spelsey228 I'm not Shia you dumb dumb
To be fair, that's how I feel whenever I visit any big city shopping mall in North America.
I worked on a project at the Jebel Ali Port back in 1998. Back then, the only notable structure of "New Dubai" that had been completed was the 7-star Burj Al Arab and some other low rise resorts.
The slavery trade was as clear as day even back then with Indians/Pakistanis for labour, Filipinos for maids and Russians for prostitution. I remember driving to the port one day and passing a cattle truck full of labourers peering through the wooden slats. The newspapers also kept the back page for "wanted" ads chasing down absconded workers who had fled from their "masters"
Sounds like a nightmare

Well in America it's hard but possible to become a billionaire it's more of a neutral state Dubai actively makes it harder to achieve set dream
Theres only 756 billionaires in America out of 331.9 million people. Yes totally hard but possible for the average person to become a billionaire. LOL. And i'm sure legally and without exploiting those that work for them too......
Why would anyone in their right mind even want to be a billionaire? You literally can't become one without exploiting large swaths of people in most cases. Its like saying when I grow up I want to be hitler. Its absurd to anyone with any morals or sense of justice. To someone that only cares about themselves and hedonism sure. Chase after your self interest in our satanic capitalist society.
The fact we glorify and look up to these people and want to be them is sickening to me. As if it is a normal or good thing.
For every 1 billionaire in America there is 437,830 people who aren't a billionaire. Totally attainable through hard work. Look at that equality. For everyone who makes it 437,830 dont. Still better odds then winning the lottery at least.

I worked in Abu Dhabi during the nineties and visited Dubai a few times. I was there when the Burj al Arab was being built. Frankly, I disliked Dubai quite a lot and thought it was very phoney. Like a lot of Western expats too. I have no intentions of going back.
Exactly dubai is an over sold plastic artificially worshipped shithole for spoilt rotten mullers and worldly scum.
At least it’s better than the shithole that the western world sadly became
I learned a few scary things about Dubai and UAE from an airline pilot friend of mine who was considering flying for them. As a foreigner you will belong to your employer and your permission to stay in the country is bound to them.
This is also true in Qatar. The cabin crew are forced to live in corporate accommodation where the building is riddled with CCTV, there are guards at the door and keycards track the cabin crew coming and going. They are subject to strict curfews and travel restrictions. For example they cannot spend the night elsewhere. They must return for curfew.
They are restricted to their apartment for hours before every work related event. All visitors are recorded and male ones are often banned. They must get permission from the airline to get married and pregnancy is immediate grounds for being fired.
They are even afraid of interacting with the pilots and desperately avoid going to the cockpit or limit their time in there as much as possible for fear of being accused of being too close to men. It’s a horrible culture of fear and very typical of the UAE. Dubai is just as bad-I just happen to be more familiar with ex-Qatar employees.
QR is notorious for its treatment of its crewmembers, matching the more heavy-handed laws and social norms of Qatar in general. Those flying for EK probably have similar restrictions, but don't seem as high-strung.
Great video

My sister was a teacher in Dubai. It’s one thing for westerners, it is another for the people who built and maintain it. Think about the Philippina maid who begged her trash boss to help her while she was dangling from a high rise window. Then fell. That’s what I think of when I think of Dubai: horror.

Insightful video as always, but as someone who’s been brought up in Singapore, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows here either. Migrant workers who have built this city’s most famous landmarks are subjected to the worst, most unsanitary living conditions. Everyone knew it was an issue but chose to ignore it up until the pandemic, when the virus spread among thousands of migrant workers because of extremely cramped dorms (more than 20 men in a single room). It was extensively reported by major news networks too. More locals are speaking up about this, but discrimination against these workers is still a rampant issue. Also, there are countless cases of employers confiscating their passports (which is illegal btw).
I agree Singapore is not as terrible as Dubai right now, but there are certainly parallels between the 2 cities in the way they treat their poorest people.
Evin i know about singapor being like dubi
Dubai intentionally modeled itself on Singapore.
I wanted to point this out too. Singapore's location, as you said, is just more suited to that. And the government, from what I've heard, is really quite authoritarian.
I feel like this is applicable to a lot of places. In Germany we also have many migrant workers in very low paying jobs. Your story about COVID and the living conditions sounds almost exactly like the life people working in slaughterhouses and meat factories have here. Probably many more
I think you're missing the point. Singapore has actively made adjustments to help migrant workers to feel more comfortable. Meanwhile Dubai hasn't and just wants to build meaningless buildings and architectures just to look good. Singapore actually allows their workers to grow and move up in the workforce. Plus almost every country has some sort of negligence towards low level workers. It is how the country chooses to handle it that sets them apart.
I grew up in 7 countries, and never witnessed the racism and utter disregard for human dignity on regular display in the UAE. As a Filipino teen, there was a lot of in-fighting in our community. But you knew shit got real when you ran into a group of locals.
